Here's the underlying problem.
You weren't able to keep your plan, even before ObamaCare.
In the last 12 years, I've worked at two places.
In that time, my insurance plan changed six times.
Either the company went to a new provider, or they changed their plans on their own.
The real problem is, private insurance really doesn't work. ObamaCare tries to prop up the corpse like "Weekend at Bernie's".
If you were in a Group Plan, there were "No Loss No Gain" rules in effect. They had to take everybody on the old plan and continue to insure them with no interruptions and no exceptions.
Yes, private insurance DOES work. Switzerland has the best Health Care in the world and it is based solely on Private Health Insurance but is mandated through their National Government.
France is trying HARD to follow in Switzerland's footsteps. As is Belgium and Holland and most of the civilized world that has experienced the criminally inefficient chaos of gubmint run insurance.... Which DOES NOT WORK ANYWHERE.
Private Insurance works, gubmint run insurance does not.
Do not confuse Private Insurance with voluntary insurance.
It's got to be mandated. Otherwise the system breaks down.
And the only entity that can mandate anything and enforce it is the government.
You really should check into how other Countries run their Health Insurance. And don't get your information from dummieunderground or dailykooks.
Single Payer Insurance the world over is failing. The only people who refuse to acknowledge that fact are dyed in the wool socialist scum. Who, IMO, shoud be executed on sight. But that's another topic.
The time was ripe for cooperation on a National Health Care Bill in this Country.
But dimocrap scum got arrogant. As usual.
And forced one of the ----- Not 'one of'..... The absolute stupidest, most ignorant, most poorly thought out, half-assed, dumb-**** bill in the history of this Country.... Maybe in the world, down our throats.
And now that we've shown the world what DUMB ***** you are, you're losing your minds.
Like you had one to lose in the first place.
And I'll tell you something....... One of the reasons I'm pissed off about this is that I, personally, am going through a life-changing scenario right now.
My wife is ready to retire. I already am and am on Medicare.
But she can't because we don't have the first ******* clue what is going to happen with this piece of ******* shit ACA that the dumbest cocksuckers on Earth -- You and your party, forced down our throats.
I'm thinking the whole thing is going to collapse.
Then what?
Do we go back to the way things were? I don't see how. I really don't.
Do we go to single-payer....? That ain't gonna happen, despite what scumbags like you want
Do we replace it and start over? What happens in the meantime?
No, what I see happening is the scum of the Earth -- dimocrap scum like you, are willing to sacrifice millions of people on the altar of socialism for the good of the Collective....
IOW, to achieve socialism through a single-payer Health Care program.
So you know what? I got 'skin in the game'. Unlike 99% of the people on this board.
And I'm pissed about this ******* mess that you and your fellow scumbag socialist/dimocraps have put me and this Country in.
And I'm not convinced you didn't do it on purpose....
Either way, incompetence and stupidity or part of a Grande Plan, it's on you and your people.
We could have done it right if you would have let us. But you're too stupid and too arrogant to listen
